Thanks for visiting Lincoln Buff 2, where I share my passion for the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Whether you're just beginning to explore Lincoln's life or are a Lincoln buff, too, join me in learning more about our sixteenth president. Check out my bicentennial year posts, where some of the information is timeless. I'm also on Twitter at http://twitter.com/lincolnbuff2, with more posts, not all Lincoln-related. Welcome!

Congratulations, Mr. Secretary

It’s official. Co-chair Ray LaHood of the U.S. Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission (ALBC) is now U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Secretary LaHood was officially sworn in on Jan. 23, 2009, with family members and fellow ALBC co-chair Senator Dick Durbin, another Illinois native son, present.

Congratulations, Secretary LaHood, and thanks to you and Senator Durbin for continuing to promote the legacy of Lincoln.
